HARIO Lampwork Factory
Glass Clip-on Earrings "Gloss"
Made in
Japan
Founded in 1921, a Tokyo manufacturer of heat-resistant glass instruments for scientific purposes has created a lineup of accessories. Each piece is made from a glass rod that is heated with a burner, which is then squeezed and stretched when softened and shaped into art pieces by an artisan.
A wide array of designs associated with heat-resistant glass
Industrial glass is primarily "heat-resistant glass" and "soft glass." Heat-resistant glass can withstand heat and has a melting point of over 1000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit), requiring work with a burner. The word, "Lampwork" in the HARIO Lampwork Factory brand name refers to the handwork of crafting glass with a burner flame. Each HARIO Lampwork Factory accessory is handcrafted by an artisan and is characterized by a wide array of designs associated with heat-resistant glass. Also, even if heat-resistant glass breaks, its form can be recreated and repaired by reheating it with a burner.
Refined from natural minerals for a boundlessly pure material
HARIO Lampwork Factory's accessories use materials that are refined from natural minerals. Also, the air bubble-removing agent used to keep the products air bubble-free contains salt and does not use any heavy metals. The heat-resistant borosilicate glass used by HARIO Lampwork Factory is lighter than other glass materials and is wearable. In addition, it is easy to work on and is considered an ideal material for glass artisans to make use of their fine skills. By adopting techniques that work with borosilicate glass through oxygen combustion, beautiful accessories can be created with artisan's handwork that cannot be reproduced through mass-production of machinery. Specifically speaking, it is characterized by work that is easy to expand and join glass components, making it possible to create designs that are delicate and have variety. Compared to ordinary glass accessories, you won't feel the strain from the weight, allowing it to be used as an everyday accessory.

HARIO Lampwork Factory
HARIO was founded in 1921 as a manufacturer of laboratory glassware in Kanda, Tokyo. Other than beakers and flasks, they manufacture a wide array of products that take advantage of heat-resistant glass characteristics, such as coffee accessories and cooking ware. The establishment of this accessory brand known as HARIO Lampwork Factory has an inspiring history.
It all started with the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Due to the blackout of this earthquake, the electric furnace in HARIO's factory that was the size of a swimming pool stopped operating. This has caused the glass material that was always retained in liquid form inside the furnace to turn into an enormous clump. As it was impossible to remove the enormous glass clump, the furnace was eventually dismantled. The recovered glass was slowly broken up but HARIO could not think of how they could make use of it. Nonetheless, HARIO had adopted a positive attitude toward the accident and embarked on a new challenge by saying, "Let's use these glass clumps to make accessories!" And thanks to the incident where the glass material hardened, the HARIO Lampwork Factory was established in 2013, producing an original accessory brand that is handcrafted throughout the entire manufacturing process with their motto, "Let's pass along the techniques of artisan handwork, which is the origin of corporations, to the succeeding generations!" The HARIO Lampwork Factory was highly regarded as an amazing business model that was born with the movement of establishing a handcraft accessory workshop and received the Good Design Award in 2014, which is considered one of Japan's most prestigious design awards.
